U of H changed up their grading ranks. Quite a few other Universities run that way as well. You do not get the full 4.0 unless you are an A or A+ (94.5 or better)

U of H does the plus/minus system, it has its plus' and its minus' depending on where you are at on the scale obviously a B- sucks since its below a 3, how ever a B+ is cool because its above a 3.

A Excellent 4.00
A- 3.67
B+ 3.33
B Good 3.00
B- 2.67
C+ 2.33
C Average 2.00
C- 1.67
D+ 1.33
D Poor 1.00
D- 0.67

I know private schools have been doing this for years (RICE, Southwestern, Trinity). My frinds always bitched about it, but I didn't have to worry about it. A&M used the traditional method.

Either way, congrats on another semester over with. Enjoy winter break ...damn I miss that!

Your nuts man, you gotta sign up early. I never really used to give a **** and sign up when ever, but when it comes to getting major level classes and trying to balance out your school and work schedules, signing up late always dicks you.

Here at SMU we have the plus minus. What really sucks is most professors won't give you an A+ if you deserve it. A lot of schools oustide of Texas do the plus minus scale. It usually balances out though.
